Sorcerer's Apprentice: My Life with Carlos Castaneda

Sorcerer's Apprentice: My Life with Carlos Castaneda Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With the skill of a master storyteller and the spiritual courage of a lifelong seeker, Wallace takes us from early meetings to a romantic idyll in Mexico; she shares previously unpublished material straight from the Nagual and explores the harrowing aftermath of Castaneda's death--including the mystery of five missing disciples who may have left Los Angeles in a suicide pact--and the shattering long term effects of his legacy. Finally, we see her ultimate, uplifting escape from the group, as she learns the danger of giving away her power to another and the consequent joy of recovering the strength of her spirit, a power each one of us possesses.

Synopsis:

- An intimate, riveting, and controversial story that serves as a cautionary tale

Synopsis:

Carlos Castaneda's disciple and lover in his last years provides a rare inside look into his inner circle

Synopsis:

Amy Wallace's memoir of her complex relationship with Carlos Castaneda plunges readers deep into the reality of the Castaneda cult and the psychological terrors it perpetrated. With the skill of a master storyteller, Wallace recounts early meetings with Castaneda, shares previously unpublished material straight from the Nagual, and explores the aftermath of Castaneda's death and the long term effects of his legacy. Insightful and unwaveringly honest, Sorcerer's Apprentice is simultaneously a love story, a cautionary tale about the dangers of giving one's power to another, and a joyous account of healing and self-affirmation.
